Applewood Vegan Cheese. Yep, another cheese. Have you tried this one? It's English but easy to get hold of in stores across Canada and hopefully the USA too? I'm not sure. If you see some though snap it up. I'm buying them 2 at a time! It's really good and even melts, stretches and gives little cheese pulls. You can guess that grilled cheese has been happening here a lot recently.
Maid on Netflix. Have you watched it? It was filmed here in Victoria and it's so good. (trigger warning - it is very much centered around domestic/emotional abuse).
USA Pans bakeware. If you've made any of my baked cakes, muffins or breads, you'll have noticed that I rave about it all the time. It's incredible. I've gradually been replacing all of my old bakeware with
it as it wears out and I'm pretty much kitted out now. Nothing sticks and it bakes so evenly. I highly recommend it if you like to bake.
Is it too early to be thinking about Christmas? Because I really want some of these Snowflake oven-to-table casserole dishes with trivets for serving up warm Christmas & New Year appies. They are so cute.
I could literally browse Crate & Barrel's website for hours!
Currently reading
The Heart Principle by Helen Hoang and loving it. It's not something I'd usually have chosen but it was suggested by a few of you when I asked for book recommendations, so thank you! Warning .. It's quite steamy in places so don't read if you're not ok with that 😉
Coming up on AVV...
I've lost my mojo a bit again of late. I used to panic when it happened but after doing this for so long now, I've learned that creativity comes in waves. I have months where the ideas are flying out of me and others where there's nothing flying anywhere.🤪
However, some have still made it to the finish line. There is a real Devon favourite coming to you on Tuesday that I am obsessed with, the aforementioned cheesecake that is to-die-for and an AMAZING and very traditional Christmas recipe all done and dusted. You might think it's too early for Christmas but this one is best made ahead and you don't want to miss it. Hold on to your hats too if you've got an air fryer because there's an air fryer
recipes on the way too. It's been a while!
Looking back .....
Before we leave October behind and move on to November's deliciousness, let's take a look back at the month on AVV!
